Posted February 26, 200420 yr yeah, i need some help, i jkust bought a 200 dollar sony reciever and i connected the optical out with a optic cable from my sound card to the reciever. It said no signal detected, so i tested and used my PS2, beautiful crisp sound of Tekken 4 was bounceing off my walls. But still, i want my pc's music. I need help, please. Is there a way to turn it on or off? did i somehow do something wrong? Windows Xp Home Sony Soundblaster Extigy 1000 watt speakers optical cable sony reciever GeForce FX 5200
February 26, 200420 yr dunno if i'm reading you right or not, but you'll need to plug the optical out from your sound card, to the optical in on the reciever.

February 26, 200420 yr From what I've been able to find, no one really talks about hooking the Extigy to a receiver, mostly to PS2s, DVD players, etc. It seems weird that they'd make something with an optical out that doesn't go to an optical in ... is there some way that you could connect to the receiver through the PS2, maybe? -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

February 27, 200420 yr Author well, my friend did it, and he has his songs and sounds through the optical out, iono, maybe i got a defective Sound Card, I emailed tech support to creative, hopefully, they will be of some help. :(
February 27, 200420 yr I just remembered an issue that some people had with the digital out on the SB Live, where you had to click some obcenly small button in the control panel or something to activate it. Might this be the case here as well? -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
